For the King 2 drops players in the shoes of the resistance trying to save the locals from the evil clutches of the corrupted Queen. At the start, there are only five classes to choose from, giving players little room for experimentation.
Fortunately, there are seven more classes to unlock in the game, allowing for tons of creative freedom and alternate build choices once players progress enough in the game to unlock every single one.

Bypassing Gameplay Requirements For Class Unlocks
Unlocking all characters in For the King 2 can be an involved process that takes a lot of time, depending on how good you are at the game. For veterans of For the King, going through the motions to unlock all the classes can be a hassle they might not want to go through. Or, if you’re planning on playing with friends in Co-op and don’t want to have limited options for a major portion of your playthrough, having the option to select any of the playable classes right from the start is an attractive offer.
Luckily, there is a way to do just that without going through the main campaign. Here is what you need to do:
- Open the folder on your PC where For the King 2 is installed. Typically SteamLibrary > steamapps > common.
- In this folder, open For The King II_Data > Steaming Assets > Assets > Configs > JSON~ (\For The King II\For The King II_Data\StreamingAssets\Assets\Configs\JSON~).
- Here, look for the file called LoreStore.json.
- Open it using Notepad.
- Scroll down to any class you want to unlock and look for the line that says “Default State”: -1.
- Change the value from -1 to 1.
- Save and exit.
After you’re done, launch For the King 2 and open up the Lore Store from the main menu. You’ll see any class you unlocked is available for play.
